Liveblog of T-Mobile Un-Carrier 5.0

T-Mobile CEO John Legere takes the stage in Seattle tonight to make more big announcements. Legere is always entertaining, and past "Un-Carrier" events have brought big news such as the end of contracts, the end of phone subsidies, and paying other companies' ETFs. Tune in!

Jun 18, 2014, 9:06 PM: The three executives are playing to the crowd while half-answering journalist questions.

Jun 18, 2014, 9:03 PM: free streaming service is an attempt to get people to think differently about how they use their data service.

Jun 18, 2014, 9:02 PM: T-Mobile says there is no commercial agreement with music providers. They worked together on the technical issues, but T-Mobile is paying for the services.

Jun 18, 2014, 9:02 PM: Question about net neutrality raised given the way T-Mobile is offering free streaming -- which could be viewed as preferential treatment -- is a possible bad idea.

Jun 18, 2014, 9:00 PM: T-Mobile hopes Test Drive will prove that its network has really improved over the last 18 months - filling in the coverage gaps that previously caused customers to leave the network.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:58 PM: T-Mo forecasts it will do at least a million test drives in the first year. If it needs to do more, it will.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:57 PM: The reason the test drive service involves the iPhone and not the Samsung Galaxy S5 is because T-Mobile wants to increase iPhone customers to its network.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:47 PM: T-Mobile today announced Music Freedom, a new service that allows customers to stream an unlimited amount of music across its network from most of the major providers. Customers on T-Mobile's Simple Choice plans will be able to stream music without it counting against their data plans. The offer includes Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Rdio, Beats, and others. Customers who hit their data limit for the month will still be able to stream music thanks to Music Freedom. It is available starting June 19.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:43 PM: T-Mo says 113m people stream music to their phones. Streaming music has increased 6x on T-Mo's network in the last two years.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:42 PM: Stream all you want, doesn't count against data allotment. Music has no limited. HUGE APPLAUSE.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:41 PM: Music Freedom.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:41 PM: T-Mobile just interrupted its UNCarrier 5.0 event to kick off its UNCarrier 6.0 event, which is about free music.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:39 PM: T-Mobile wants consumers to fight AT&T and Verizon. It has basically written Sprint off as a competitor.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:36 PM: T-Mobile: Bang our network for a week

Jun 18, 2014, 8:36 PM: The Test Drive works as follows: 1, order the phone, take it for a spin for 7 days, and then return it to the store. No charges. No commitments. Customers make no payments and no deposits.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:34 PM: T-Mobile's Mike Sievert is on stage now.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:31 PM: Legere: "We think everyone should cheat on their carrier. Every AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon customer should cheat and enjoy every minute of it."

Jun 18, 2014, 8:30 PM: T-Mobile is using sex to sell its "one-night stand" idea of test driving its network for free - cheating on your carrier before you switch.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:29 PM: The video is describing how ridiculous it is that the wireless industry wants its customers confused.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:28 PM: Video time!

Jun 18, 2014, 8:28 PM: Legere is talking about how much remorse is felt by people who buy new cell phones and then don't like it a few days later.

Jun 18, 2014, 8:27 PM: "High and mighty duopolists are raping you for every penny you have. The f@ckers hate you."

Considering how bad T-Mobile was before Legere took over, T-Mobile is working fast. I do realize that there are much better options out there, but I want to see how good they get by next year. I love T-mobile because it works excellent were I need it,...(continues)
